problem gameex and clones of my roms

[lion73]

Hi i have update new version of Gameex + mame uifx32 + catlist.ini (i use a 32 bits windows xp)

problem is when i use "custom folder" with : catlist .in, deluxe32.ini, cat32....i don't know why i have all the clones on my menu or sub-menu

of course i had choose "i don't want clone" on gammeex mame set-up menu.

i use also : "only existing rom"

i have try to change differente other mame instead of mameuifx...same thing!

i have try to use clearmamepro to make a unique list of my roms without clones...same thing!

so i thing the problem is the cat, genre, deluxe ou catver.ini....but before it was ok with the sames!.?

i didn"t have the case before! any solution?

When making any changes to your MAME setup you need to update your game list afterwards. To do this go into MAME within GameEX, scroll to bottom and Update List should be there.

If you don't see Update List anywhere then make sure it is not disabled In the Setup Wizard - go to Enable/Disable Features and make sure Hide Update List = no, reload GameEx and try again

well...i ve made it like 40 times! so this is not the problem.

i used to try old version of gameex also....same problem!

Hi lion73

When you have a moment, please post a copy of your GameEx.ini. This will help us to see any problematic settings in your config, The How to Ask For Help thread contains details regarding how to access your GameEx.ini. Thank You!

This may have something to do with the way your ROM set is configured (split, merged, or split-merged). Try turning on Verify ROMs in your settings and update your list in GameEx again.

Having said that, I'm also a bit concerned about your emulator itself. ClrMamePro (pretty much) uses the same method of determining clones as GameEx does, which is to say that it uses the MAME executable itself to generate and examine information about the ROM set. If ClrMamePro can't make that happen, and GameEx can't make that happen, there may be an issue with the emulator itself in terms of being able to generate information about the set. Does the version of your ROM set match your version of MAME?

ok i have try "verify roms" and same thing....no changes

i think my set of rom is 0.149

and my mame is 0.151

You will need to update your ROMs to 0.151 or find a copy of Mame 0.149. Not much can be done until you update your MAME and ROMs are the same version.

As i thought, it was not the problem about the difference of the version of the set and mame....

Anyway i've made all at 0151, and same thing! (roms, mameuifx32, cat32, deluxe32...)

i think the problem is catver and catlist

if i put only catver.ini (version0151 of course) in the line of catver.ini of gameex=> i have no clones! (but no subcategory like vertical fire...)

if i put catlist folder (with only catlist.ini) or cat 32 folder, or deluxe 32 (with all the ini.files) in "custom line folder" of Gaamex => all the clones appear

any idea at the end?

[Tempest]

It seems to me that mame made some changes in 0.151 that was causing some other strange things to happen. Would you mind trying your 0.149 version just to see if it makes a difference?

[lion73]

yes i ve already made it..same thing for me

[lion73]

i think the problem is really the line" custom folder"

what ini.files do you put on this folder? (without clones of courses)
